Jose Mourinho has yet to incorporate new players in the Real Madrid dressing room, but has swiftly moved to dispose of first team outcasts.
It has been a strange summer for Madridista as Real Madrid start their preparations for the 2012/13 Spanish top flight football season. Los Blancos have yet to add a new player to their dressing room and have gotten rid of four players, boasting off a positive
transfer record in the region of 19.5 million Euros.
The Santiago Bernabeu based outfit’s green balance sheet is partly because of their inability to bring http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 to the Spanish capital, thereby stalling on a large financial outlay that is imminent before the end of the season.
Tottenham Hotspur, employers of the Croatian midfield maestro are haggling over the monies. With Daniel Levy wanting over 40 million Euros for Modric, Florentino Perez is biding his time before making a final push to acquire his services.
The construction magnate is not new to the business and has moved swiftly to reduce the wage bill. Los Blancos have added significant funds to their coffers with the sale of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Canales-c33052 and Daniel Carvajal.
Altintop moved out of the exit door to return to native http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026, linking up with Galatasaray. The Super Lig giants paid Madrid 3.5 million Euros to acquire the former Bayern Munich utility man.
On the other hand, Real Madrid’s sporting staff have managed to sell Fernando Gago and Sergio Canales to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863.
Los Che added Gago to their roster in their preparations for UEFA Champions League participation, while also converting Canales’ temporary stay into a permanent addition to the dressing room.
The duo have brought in a combined 11 million Euros, with the young Spaniard bringing in the big chunk with his close to 8 million transfer.
Castilla star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Carvajal, has also been shipped off. The youth academy graduate was sold for 5 million Euros and finds himself on the books of Bundesliga giants, Beyer Leverkusen. 
Nevertheless, Madrid have added a buy-back clause in his contact and can bring him back to the Bernabeu in the future.
